Amen to that. I have a 760 GMAT and am a US URM (hispanic) from a poor background and a "public ivy." Lower GPA because I went crazy taking engineering-level math courses. Don't know how many of us high GMAT URMs there are out there but I promise you that we'd likely fit into a small room. I remember SWAT teams running around my neighborhood all the time when I was a kid. Wrote about it in my essay. If that doesn't catch their attention as adversity, nothing will.
That's a crazy story! Fingers crossed for you, dude![/quote]

Same here. I wrote about adversity as well and prisons.[/quote]
Damn, should have written about my adversity. I went with describing my experience in case study form. Why would they have that video there if you are not supposed to use it somehow? Anyway. 8 more days of waiting to hear if it was successful.
